To the east, in New York, the Adirondacks, with the sunlight full upon them, shot up jade-colored peaks into the electric blue the scarred pyramid of Graytop standing forth dark, detached, and alone, like a battered veteran sentinel.
Once he had gained even a few hours' security, he would be able to some extent to pick and choose his way. He steered himself by the peak of Graytop, black against the last coral-tinted glow of the sunset, as a sailor steers by a star.
To the west, in a niche between Graytop and the double peak of Windy Mountain, he could place the county-town; to the north, beyond the pretty headlands and the shining coves, the prison of Plattsville was waiting to receive him. Farther to the north was Canada; and to the south the great waterway led toward the populous mazes of New York.
